The main result confirms that any minimal unavoidable set over an alphabet $A$ can be obtained from $A$, regarded as the initial minimal unavoidable set, by finitely many applications of such transformations. As a consequence, a procedure to generate all possible minimal unavoidable sets over $A$ is proposed. This allows us in particular to generate easily counter-examples for both Ehrenfeucht’s conjecture and Haussler’s one on unavoidable sets. rv:
